Introduction: The COVID-19 Pandemic has generated changes in the daily activities of people worldwide such as the use of surgical masks, which were previously only used in biomedical careers, increased demand for this product increased pollution of the seas due to the lack of proper handling of this non-biodegradable material. Objective: The objective of this article is to know compliance with biosecurity standards after the implementation of a biosecurity program aimed at students of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of the National University of San Antonio Abad Cusco.
Methods: A pre-experience design study was performed, consisting of a non-probability sample, in which a pre-test was applied before the program and a post-test. The data was then analyzed using the chi-square statistical test and the 95% confidence McNemar test. Results: It was observed that knowledge of biosecurity presented a 65% level of average knowledge before the program and after it an increase in the level of knowledge was presented high of 60%, also when applying the Chi-statistical testsquare presented a statistically significant difference in these groups with a value of p=0.000.
Conclusions: The training improves knowledge and compliance with biosecurity standards after the implementation of the environmental education program.
Keywords:COVID-19 ; biosecurity; environmental pollution.
